Samsung played it safe with the Galaxy S25, but if we're being honest, it ended up being a pretty compelling Android phone. I would've liked to see a more aggressive design revamp, better cameras, and improved battery and charging technology. Even without those improvements, the Galaxy S25 held its own as one of the best phones on the market in 2025.
I'm expecting big things from the Galaxy S26, although rumors and leaks suggest it might be a letdown. Samsung is following the launch of the iPhone 17 and the Google Pixel 10, which included trend-setting upgrades like higher base storage and magnetic charging support. To be competitive, Samsung needs to match these additions and more.
